Possible cultural reading (auto-composed)

water, chaos, the mighty deep › to separate and protect › the mark, the covenant sign › to reveal, behold

Water, chaos, the mighty deep that works to separate and protect of the mark, the covenant sign that works to reveal, behold.

Interpretive, not lexical. The dictionary sense of מַחְתָּה above is the attested meaning; this pictographic reading is a tradition about how the sign-shapes may have been heard. Both can be held at once, they are answering different questions.
